Hi all

Thanks for all the recent advice, I collected my spec D on Monday....

And have been driving today. I've got a box of stuff that I have to carry in the boot (a plastic 'crate') and it slides round like ****, particularly when I'm off enjoying the new car

Can anyone reccommend a decent cargo net?

Thanks

 

Spec D - top buy mate

 

Thanks - any advice on keeping cargo in one place in the boot? (other than going slower round corners - not an option!)

 

buy a roll of self adhesive velcro, and stick one side (as long as the box) to back of seat and the other to the box, et voila! , no more stuff scattered about!

regards

Iirc a cargo net that's available for a wagon (ie from Subaru) can be fitted to the saloon quite easily..

The 'T' hooks can be screwed into the two clip holes that hold the trim (behind lights) in place. They're in the \ / sides/opening IYSWIM..?

The net is a bag type and hangs across the mouth of the boot vertically, lower part hangs free.

Not sure where I read this, but I'll do some digging..

Any wagon owners confirm that this net is available..?

Alternatively, a 6" deep piece of foam >12x12" to whatever you need, with cut outs for anything that you need to carry. Placed in the boot, this won't go anywhere. I have a piece cut to fit the spare wheel well (don't carry spare) that has cut outs for a can of tyre inflator, bottle of booster and towing eye (don't carry tool kit either..). Also prevents boot floor/hardboard/carpet from sagging too much.

 

Thanks guys, I've got some non-slip rubber mat, but that wasn't non-slip enough. I like the idea of a cargo net, particularly if it's Subaru (I like to keep things standard). Let me know if you do find anything thanks jasonius.

Cheers

 

Good buy

Try not to carry anything in the back and you will go faster

 

Yep Subaru do one for the Wagon. I've got one.

Thanks, but its the four door that I've got. That's the sort of thing I'm after though!

 

I have one of those in my MY02 WRX saloon. There are a couple of holes in the underside of the crossmember below the front lip of the boot that the net hooks into quite nicely, no screws / drilling required. I would imagine yours is v. similar. Check for holes then buy.

Or you could swap cars with mine which comes with the net already fitted

 

Thanks speedking, I'll have a look for those fixings. Thanks for the car swap offer, but I'll stick with my new motor

 

This is how I fitted mine

 

Ive got plenty of these cargo nets mate

 

Now that's what you call a net.

Thanks Dazza, that hefty fellow ought to be able to sit in my boot and hold the box for me.

Merv - How does the net that youv'e fitted fit, where is it from and it that in a saloon? Thanks

 

Yes saloon,got the net from ebay,Peugeot 307.

I fitted 1" webbing with D rings in the ends,used existing nuts/bolts in boot and just bolted them in.

 

Excellent, thanks Merv
